"Krinkov" is also sometimes used as a general term meaning short barrel Kalashnikov type.

Yes I have an AK 47 now time to get an AK 74. Ak 74 is Russias answer to our M16. It has a longer more accurate range then the AK 47. Also the round has an air pocket inside that causes it to tumble.Thats according to the video I watched.

Could someone explain the differences between the two to me? Any advantages or disadvantages to one or the other? Thanks.

Here is a good read (http://www.amazon.com/AK-47-AK-74-Kalashnikov-Rifles-Variations/dp/1882391330/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1254464972&sr=8-1) on the subject.

Just curious, but aren't there AK74 Krinks in 7.62x39 caliber?

Yup, I've got one. Bulgarian kit built on my RAW Maadi. I would post pics but my polaroids won't stick to the screen.

Im tryig to find it it shows the inventer of the AK and says the Ak 74 was made for longer distance shooting. The airpocket I think is from WIkipedia. Anyways tried to find it but its late, Sorry If I run across it Ill give you a link.:D

I think that would be less frontal area plus the velocity is less drag and more accuracy at extended ranges.

I like the 30 cal rifle, when shooting at ballistic materials you know what bullet you want to be slinging down range.

The old Afghanistan poison bullet, eh?

I own both, and both cartridges suffer from the old combloc quality control problems. If one is measurably more accurate than the other, I haven't seen it using their ammo.

The 5.45 steel core stuff has an open area at the tip, but never havingn fired any of it at a soft target, I don't know about the "tumbling" effect.

heres the Wiki on the bullet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5.45x39mm

Heres abullet cut in half showing the air pocket in the tip and a little in the middle.http://media.photobucket.com/image/5.45x39%20yaw%20effect/dfariswheel/PICT0001.jpg

also may I recommend K-Var (http://www.k-var.com/shop/)
they essentially are Arsenal's online store. Lots of great rifles and AK parts there, but you may need a middleman to facilitate your various interests.
